4. With respect to the conformers of ethane, which of the following statements is true? (NEET 2017)

(a) Bond angle changes but bond length remains same.

(b) Both bond angle and bond length change.

(d) Bond angle remains same but bond length changes.

5. The correct statement regarding the comparison of staggered and eclipsed conformations of ethane, is (NEET-I 2016)

(a) the eclipsed conformation of ethane is more stable than staggered conformation even though the eclipsed conformation has torsional strain

(b) the staggered conformation of ethane is more stable than eclipsed conformation, because staggered conformation has no torsional strain
